Totally, UTF-8 should be default on all sites, of course. I'm talking about representation inside the database.

ISO-639-1 is the standard, and ISO-639-2 is the secondary part for regional differences. This is what everyone in the entire world supports. We should too: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html.gz#Usual- Language-Codes Thus, US English is en_US. English is en or en_EN. Arabic would be ar, or ar_AR, or saudi arabic would be ar_SA The underscore and hyphen should be read the same, just like google and every other project in the world uses: so en_US is the same as en- US, and its not case sensitive. The simplest solution is to use the key 'en' for basic english and 'ar' for basic arabic. Then in the language can have a word like english and arabic, then in another language like arabic, could have arabic translations for word english and arabic. Make sense? This should be fixed here and on all aiki installations. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework.admins Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~aikiframework.admins More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
